You were on your own, I was on the road
You were awful lonesome, I was awful cold
You wanted love songs, but that's not enough
So how long must we punish each other
For the sin of falling in love

You were on the phone, I was on the floor
And the boy was staring out the kitchen door
He hears our fighting and he takes it rough
So how long must we punish each other
For the sin of falling in love

Well there's a whole lot worse that a man can do
There's greater crimes for women too
Than to give the holy power of love a place to stand
Now we're looking back through a sack of woe
There's a boy with a stack of reasons to know
Why we can't forgive each other
A woman and man

You were in the air, I was in the sea
Boy was in a basket with friends on the beach
It won't take much asking, to receive bad stuff
So how long must we punish each other
For the sin of falling in love

Oh how long must we punish each other
For the sin of falling in love

So many lonely people looking for a way
To fill the empty nights when the phone won't ring
We all want to fall in love, hear the birds sing.
So if you're feeling desparate, don't give up
Times, they are a changing and so is your luck.

Cupid's got a gun
Arrows wouldn't do
He's got the power love for you
It's a big big love
His aim is true
Don't try to run
Cupid's got a gun.

Don't you just sit there feeling sorry for yourself
Reading romance novels and laying around the house
Dreaming that the good parts were written just for you
Then waking up saying this will never come true
Stop your hesitating go out tonight
You know he's out there waiting
To get you in his sights.

Cupid's got a gun
Arrows wouldn't do
He's got the power love for you
It's a big big love
His aim is true
Don't try to run
Cupid's got a gun.

It's a real tough job helping people fall in love
That old bow and arrow just wasn't strong enough
Cupid wasn't stupid, he knew just what to do
Now he's loaded for love,
He's coming for you.

Ive driven this road as a stranger
Ive driven this road as a friend
Ive driven this road as a slack-jawed tourist
And Im drivin on it once again
It might be cold and long and lonely
But shes waiting on the other side
And Im an hour closer to sarah in the summer
And joyfully I ride.

I climb through georgetown, silver plume
The tunnel at lovelands cove/cold?
The lake on the left is a little low
Route 9 is the breckenridge road? ?
Theres a sign right below copper mountain
Telling wheter independence runs free/where the weather & independence run free
And Im an hour closer to sarah in the summer
And thats where I wanna be

In the evening shadow of red butte
Up the lane from the slaughter house bridge
The first cabin the moonlight strikes as it crests the cleft in hunter crick ridge
Up frombetween old red and smuggler
Rising high on a piano bench there
And Im an hour closer to sarah in the summer
And what lies between beware
What lies between, beware

And the red sandstone sentinels rising high on either side
As I follow the eagle valley
Through the canyon where the saints reside
In mt snowmasss majesty south
And east out of glennwood springs
And Im an hour closer to sarah in the summer
Where the roaring river sings
Where the roaring river sings.

the other night as I was driving
Up the highway through the past
I was torn betwwen the future
and the memories of the past

Fell in love for the wrong reasons
Gave our hearts then lost control
So I eased it up past sixty
Turn away and let it roll

We had the plan to stay together
You with your dreams me with mine
With the promess of forever
We would stand the test of time

Like the hot winds come in summer
Trouble waited at the door
Time to leave this all behind me
Turn away and let it roll

Chorus
Let it roll the way these heart aches
Let it roll away theses fears
let it roll away the reasons
We've been crying all these years

Every mile that comes between us
There's a cleansing in my soul
Throw away the rear view mirror
Adios and let it roll

Now everybody takes their chances
Everybody has to choose
But when love hangs in the balance
There's an innocence you lose

I don't know what lies before me
But I'm sure I have to go
Feel the tears slowly descending
It's my last so let it roll

Chorus
...
Time to leave this all behind me
Adios and let it go

Hello, I am your heart
And you got me broken one too many times
Oh, hello, this is your heart speaking
And you got me hurt boy one too many times
Going away on a little vacation
I'll be gone quite a while
You won't have you no love making
You'll just have that ten cent smile
Goodbye, this is your heart leaving
I wish you the best of luck
While I'm healing up
Oh hello this is your heart
I just telephoned to see how you're getting by
Oh hello this is your heart calling
Well, I've got to run now but I'll drop you a line
I'm having fun on my little vacation
I may be gone a while
You won't have you no love making
You'll just have that ten cent smile
Hello this is your heart
I wish you the best of luck
While I'm healing up
Oh goodbye
Goodbye

Bad time on main street
Tears pouring down
Words used as weapons
It's a sad night on the town

Pride fuels our passion
You don't hear what I say
But darling you know that I love you
And through the years, through the tears
Love will find a way

It's happened before, it'll happen again
You feel like you've gotta run
But what's to gain when you're calling me names
I don't know what I've done

Sweet, sweet forgiveness
Won't you speak to me please
Just a bit of compassion
Through the years, through the tears
Love will find a way

If I hurt you I'm sorry
Go and blame me today
But give me all of your tomorrows
'Cause through the years, through the tears
Love will find a way
Through the years, through the tears
Love will find a way

Trying times when you pack it all up
Trying times when you lose somebody you love

The sun's coming up
Wishing I could jump
Got a pain in my heart
I didn't know nohing

All aboard in montreal
I heard the conductor call
That old engine heaved a sigh
Suitcases and shuffling feet
I found my way to a windo seat
I love to watch the world go by
Made friends with a family
Bound for sault ste marie
They said good bye at sudbury junction
Guess I hated to see ’em go
Thought about ’em as it started to snow
Time stops for nothing or no one

This train keeps rollin along
From here to the great beyond
Black somke, pistons churn
Steel rails, big wheels turn
This train keeps rolling along

Across the endless plrairie land
Mighty buffalo used to stand
The cree and the blackfoot lived and died
the rockies, nestled in the trees,
I fell in love with lake louise
Smiling with her sparkling emerald eyes

Soon we’ll reach the sea
And there I’ll stand
With nothing but the blue between me and japan
Now I’m at the end of the line,
Out of track, out of time,
Conductor makes his final round
All the people and places past
They went by just a little too fast
How I wishi could’ve slowed this engine down.

This train keeps rollin along
From here to the great beyond
Black somke, pistons churn
Steel rails, big wheels turn
This train keeps rolling along

Fresh scrubbed baby, mama's kiss on his cheek
Steps off the Greyhound with money for a week
A wide-eyed innocent, he knows no fear
It takes more than heroes to survive down there

In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
Well if you've got the bullets
They'll remember your name down there

Can't drink the water, can't breathe the air
They said it was exciting, never said it was fair
You're just another singer in a pilgrim's suit
Chased by the lines till you learn to shoot

In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
If you've got those black dollars
They'll remember your name down there

Badlands, well there's always a faster hand in the west
Room around town for only the best
One false step and you'll be cut down
For some it's paradise, for others it's hell

In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
Yeah, if you've got the bullets
They'll remember your name down there
They'll remember your name down there
They'll remember your name down there

You're gonna need some protection
You had better make your connections

I made a living writing lover's dream words,
I found the notes to hang them on
I fround a way to play with the meaning of things
And I came up with a couple good songs.
And so I oughta have an easy answer,
I oughta have some pretty things to say,
But I haven't found the combination
That'll make you change your mind and wanna stay.

So I wish I had one sure honest line to say over and over again
Sung in tune and time to a melody pure
One clear everpresent pulse in the pocket
And I'm on the radio so you'll know that I am yours

Listen to the laughter of the children
She scratched on the back of a bill
As we climbed past the road to the schoolhouse
On the burnt crust browning pan hill
To where they don't take sad for an answer,
A place at the corner of your heart,
Where music meets with memories,
So you can recognize the feeling from the start

How I wish I had one sure honest line to say over and over again
Sung in tune and time to a melody pure
One clear everpresent pulse in the pocket?
I'm on the radio so you'll know that I am yours
They'll put us on the radio so you'll know that I am yours

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign, pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you

I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan, that is coming true

Every long lost dream, lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lovers arms
This much I know, is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight
to you
